Who Knew?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re tossing and turning at night, waking up too early and\/or not feeling rested in the morning, it\u2019s time to consider magnesium for sleep. Nearly half of Americans struggle with sound sleep, but what if a simple magnesium supplement could end all that\u2026and a lot of other health issues too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turns out up to 50% of Americans may be deficient in this important mineral. Two reasons why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li><strong>Stress<\/strong>. Stress from intense workouts, diet, or everyday life drain magnesium from our bodies.<\/li><li><strong>Depleted soil.<\/strong> Our soil has been depleted of magnesium, leading to deficient amounts in plants, crops, and ultimately in the foods we eat.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Signs of Magnesium Deficiency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since magnesium is involved in over 300 bodily processes, a deficiency can affect just about any part of your body. Various symptoms may include:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_280406071-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9278\" width=\"375\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_280406071-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_280406071-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_280406071-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_280406071-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_280406071-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/sleep-remedies\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Sleep (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Sleep<\/a> disturbances<\/li><li>Difficulty concentrating<\/li><li>Fatigue<\/li><li>Dizziness<\/li><li>Irritability<\/li><li>Anxiety<\/li><li>Muscle cramps<\/li><li>Weak bones<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Magnesium Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li><strong>Magnesium for sleep<\/strong>. Magnesium helps your body relax, calms frazzled nerves, and helps your mind shut down in preparation for sleep. It also plays a role in making the sleep-enhancing chemicals melatonin and glutathione.<\/li><li><strong>Magnesium for heart. <\/strong>Magnesium provides the fuel for your heart\u2019s pumping action and provides elasticity for your heart and blood vessels.<\/li><li><strong>Magnesium for digestion.<\/strong> Bloated? Irregular? Magnesium is particularly helpful with elimination. Poor elimination is one of the most common GI problems. In fact, one third of Americans over the age of 60 complains of constipation. Magnesium could be the answer.<\/li><li><strong>Magnesium for bones<\/strong>. When you think of strong bones, you think of calcium, but magnesium is just as important. It gives both strength and malleability. In fact, over half of all magnesium in the human body is found in the bones. A magnesium deficiency can lead to fragile, weak bones prone to breaks and fractures.<\/li><li><strong>Magnesium for muscles<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve had sore muscles after working out, magnesium can help ease the stiffness. Exercise depletes magnesium, sodium, potassium and other minerals. When your body doesn\u2019t have enough magnesium, it can lead to muscle cramps.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Foods with Magnesium<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_67636467-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9280\" width=\"365\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_67636467-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_67636467-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_67636467-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_67636467-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_67636467-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/howto\/guide\/what-magnesium\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Magnesium-rich foods<\/a> include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Leafy, green vegetables like spinach<\/li><li>Avocados<\/li><li>Whole grain cereals<\/li><li>Nuts, seeds, legumes<\/li><li>Beans, peas, soybeans<\/li><li>Dark chocolate<\/li><li>Tofu<\/li><li>Fatty fish \u2013 salmon, mackerel, halibut<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/magnesium\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Magnesium Supplements (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Magnesium Supplements<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you eat magnesium-rich foods, you might consider magnesium supplements.
